Current Status: Initiated by the Scottish Government. Answered by Angus Robertson on 13 June 2024

To ask the Scottish Government when the Registrar General for Scotland will publish the next results from the 2022 Census.

I have asked Janet Egdell, Chief Executive of National Records of Scotland to respond. Her response is as follows:

National Records of Scotland have today published: “ Scotland’s Census 2022: Armed Forces veterans ”.

This is the first time Scotland’s Census has ever collected data on veterans. Today’s publication provides a unique insight enabling governments, local authorities and charities to shape support for veterans and their families.

Scotland’s Census results are designated as National Statistics and form an integral part of the statistical system in the UK. The Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR), the independent regulatory arm of the UK Statistics Authority , awards Accredited Official Statistics designation based on the quality, good practice and comprehensiveness of official statistics.
